Most of these are upped in class with the exception of top weight STELLARTA. Michael Blanshard’s mare has won in this grade at Windsor and went close again at Pontefract last time. It was soft ground when Dutch Destiny won at Haydock in July but Sweet Dragon Fly can effectively race off a lower mark than when beating Sixties Sue at Lingfield with an apprentice’s allowance taken into account. Ginzan and Noble Act are recent winners likely to find this much tougher while Pixeleen, Summer Chorus and Emerald Loch are others with something to prove at this level. Owasey has been thereabouts over longer trips and attempts 6f for the first time today.
